Satisfying Chickpea and Quinoa Sea-Inspired Salad

Step 1

Start by boiling water and quinoa together in a saucepan until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, typically around 15 to 20 minutes. Once done, fluff the quinoa with a fork and chill it in the fridge.

Step 2

Next, take chickpeas, carrots, celery, sunflower seeds, cabbage, and onions, and blitz them in a food processor until they are all roughly chopped. Transfer this colorful mix to a large bowl.

Step 3

Combine the chilled quinoa, almonds, and raisins with the chickpea medley. Then, add in mayonnaise, mustard, kelp flakes, relish, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for a burst of flavors. Stir everything together until the mixture is well-seasoned and ready to be enjoyed.
